NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE Sue
CESS has heretofore been mystery
10 us why strangers are generally charg-
ed so extrayagantly by hotels in large
cities. Happening a short time since al
the CALF HOUSE, corner Sixth and
Main Streets, Cincinnati, o., managed by
w. T.. Marsh, Jr., son of the proprietor
who established the Gait House fifty years
ago. the mystery was solved. The ac-
commodations ut the Gait House are
equal in every respect to the best two
dollar per day hotel, and yet the charges
arc only one dollar and fifty cents per
day for meals aud room: single meals
thirty five cents. The Gait is headquar-
tiers FOR the most complete meals. which
together with free use Of the parlor, Of
flee, check-room, ETC., constitute the
greatest bargain obtalngble In the city.
The solution Is easy when the facts are
known. The Galtis run exclusively IN
the interest Of strangers, and the same
rate being charged per day, at all times,
to everyone. Whatever will produce a
reasonable rent for The property is the
extent Of its charges thus doing away
with the usual Lessee's profits. Its man.
agement is constantly under the immedl-
ate and personal control ofthe owner, w.
4. Marsh, Jr. Its employees being paid
according TO the volume of business, are
efficient and reasonable in cost. The
above pcculiaritles, 0 low, uniform price,
a reasonable rent charge only, a rigorou:
aud practical supervision of Its internal
affairs, and cooperative salary payments
have secured for the Gault affair transient
trade, and the experiment Is suecess
producing rent for the real estate. Ic

The Latest SWindle.

A reputable citizen cf the county
writes US. that not many days ago a
man took a large load OF grain to a
mill in this county to have it ground.
Thinking be would be compelled to
remain sometime be put his horses
into the mill shed and gave them a
half bushef of oats in the feed boxes
prepared for that purpose. He then
went into the mill, but Immediately
returned to get bag, when he heard
his horses paving as though thev
were wanting something to eat. He
went to their heads. and what was
his astonishmeDt TO find their oats all
gone. He then began to investigate,
and be found that the boxes had
false bottoms. AS soon as the horses
put their noses into the oats it press
ed the bottom of the box down so
that the oats would run through into
another box, the bottom of which
was filled with augur holes. From
this box the oats would run down into
long trough where they were access.
ible to the miller. Often last winter
the poor horses that were hauling
logs were supposed to be fed in this
shed, and the thief who robbed the
noble animals of their food ought to
be punished if there is any law to
reach him.-McKean Co. Winer.

After Harvest.

AMELIA r. BAIns
The days of harvest are pas. again;
We have cut the cora and bouaI the
sbeaves,
An tatf e-ed the apples green and gold,
Mid the brown and crimson orchard leaves
Wih a fowery promise the springtime
came,
With the blilding birds and blossoms
sweet;
But OF. the honey, aad fruit and vine.
And on, e JOY Of The corn aat wheat!
VIVA. was the b I'M TO the apples geld,
And what tn flower to the hone ycomb?
Wuat was the song that sped the p!ow?
To the joyful song of the Harvest Home?
So sweet, so fair are the days Of youth;
So full of promise, so gay of song:
To the lit Of Joy an i the dream Of love
Right merrIly go the hours along.
But yet in the harvest time Of lie
We never wish for it's spring again,
We have tried our strength and proved our
hear;
Our hands have gathered their golden gain
We have eaten with Sorrow her bitter
bread,
And Love has fed US with hoGeyeomb.
Sweet youth, we can never weep for thee
When Life has c,me to its Harvest Home
When the apples are red on the topmost
bough,
We Go not think of their blossomng hour,
When the vine hangs .ow wit l its purple
fruit,
We do not long for its pale green flower.
So, then when hopes OF our spring at last
Are found In the fruit of the busy brai",
In hearts sweet love and the hands brave
toll.
We shall not wish for our youth again
All, no! we shall say with glad content;
"After the years of our hard unrest,
Thank God for our ripened hopes and tolls
Thank God, the Harvest Of Like is best.

A Snoring.

Gertrude King, the principal wit
ness at the Coroner's inquest on Mrs.
Jane Hoag, who drowned herself
Friday at Adrian, Mich, caused q
long wait Saturday. She took the
stand and Immediately fell into q
deep sleep. A snore was the indica-
tion to the officers that she was
not awake. The snore was repeated
with increased. energy. A woman
companion was shocked and gave the
snoring beauty vigorous nudge.
1t had no effect and she slept on,
snoring louder and louder every min
ute. At last the officers took hand
aud tried unsuccessfulIy to rouse her.
They shook her, stuck pins in her
and pulled her hair without avail.
and finally sat down to await her
waking. The time dragged by, and
the case waited while the girl slept as
souudly and beautifully as if she was
10 her bed.
1t was O'Clock when she went to
sleep and at ii she was still sleeping.
Then the Coroner adjourned the in
quest for the day, and left the officer
to watch the girl. 1t has since been
learned thai she is given to taking
maps of from 20 to 25 hours duration.

him. 1t chanced that the friend had
just been divorced from his wife, and
little Aunie. who had heard some-

"Why didn't you bring your wife
with you, Mr. Todd?" asked Annie
when they were all seated at the ia
BILE.
The guest blushed and stammered,
and said that he hadn't any now.
Then Annie, in spite of admonitory
scowls from her papa and mamma,
continued:
"Wbat did you get divorced from
her for?"
"Well, Annie, don't you think it
is BETTER" asked Mr.. Todd, "wben
